Am I optimising Levothyroxine by it taking at the right time?
Hi I'm on 100mcg Levo for Hashimoto's. I have been taking it for about 12 years now at varying amounts and currently have a lot of aches, pains and stiffness and fatigue. But I also have RA and chronic autoimmune Uticaria and my inflammation levels are always high at present. I am therefore on a lot

Vitamin D or is it Vitamin D3, or are they both the same please ?
Months ago, after being newly diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and prescribed Levothyroxine, I'd been reading up on Stop The Thyroid Madness website that Vitamin D3 might help my (what I thought might be,) Fibromyalgia type pains. (I hadn't heard of Thyroid UK back then.) At my next Doctor's appointment

Making headway...vitamin B12
I managed to speak with my GP last week regarding my low level of vitamin B12 in the light of all my auto immune problems but in particular my under-active thyroid. My level was about 280 and the lab range was 225-1100 or there about. My GP began by flatly saying my levels were 'within normal range

I can't cope with this much more!
Evening all, I hope everyone is ok. I have just been discharged from hospital, and I'm struggling again (been to acute medicine clinic today for nebs). I've lost count of the number of admissions now but I have just had enough, of bouncing in and out of hospital, of not being able to work...not being

Is Calceos (calcium and Vit D3) supplement the right one for thyroid problems?
I have half an underactive thyroid following removal of the right side for cancer treatment. They also removed a parathyroid gland that was imbedded in the isthmus tissue during and blood tests done in July (5 months post op) have found that I'm Vit D3 deficient and need calcium too. I've finally been

Vitamin b12 deficiency or pernicious anaemia? How to know the difference?
Recently you good people explained how my vitamin B 12 was way too low...it was somewhere in the 280 region (reference 225 - 1100). I am seeing my GP in the week and I need to be knowledgeable. As well as having coeliac disease and an underactive thyroid, I have been diagnosed with UCTD: recently I

Vitamin D and Green Tea
Hi all - first post from me. My husband has CLL and I have read lots about the benefits of taking Vitamin D3. I want to get him on this. Any advice as to what strength? Have found a good make by Healthy Origins which is 10,000 IU. Also, any recommendations for green tea supplements?

Very unwise?
Please can you help. I was diagnosed with an under-active thyroid 12 years ago age 40. Frustratingly, have other symptoms to manage too (I have coeliac and I am under investigation for a life time lupus / sjogrens type) autoimmune condition. I feel really cross with myself that I have blithely taken

Hi Peeps, I was finally diagnosed Hypothyroid last January. I had been arguing that I had all the symptoms for a good few years!
Nothing was done as my bloods were 'normal' Tired, depressed, losing my hair/eyebrows/lashes, overweight but can't lose it even if I starve myself! However after having an accident at work last October resulting in a badly broken arm, I was sent for a Dexa scan due to my age and being past menopause

Wondering what to do now?!
Thank you all for taking the time to read this, I'd really, really value your input and advice. I am not officially diagnosed with fibro but I have an 'undiagnosed joint problem' and I would like your advice on what you think I should do next. Can I say, fibro has not been ruled out. My joint pain

Latest blood tests results - opinions please
I phoned up my surgery today to ask about my results and the receptionist had a look and said that it was all normal. I then asked for a print out so I went up there to pick up them up. Here are the results: Vitamin B12 362 ng/L (211-911) Folate 6.19 ug/L (greater than 5.38) Ferritin

Vitamin D increases circulating IGF1 in adults: potential implication for treatment of growth hormone deficiency.
Although very few thyroid patients are ever tested in any way for growth hormone, there is sufficient research to suggest that it can be low-ish in those with thyroid issues. This paper suggests a possibility that vitamin D may be somewhat beneficial in this direction. The paper is directed at people

I paid for full bloods having stopped B12, B comp and Vit D. The aim was to check for anaemia and have an active B12 test?
Based on previous blood tests posted, I wanted to have active B12 test. St Thomas' Hospital confirmed I needed to stop supplementing for 4 weeks. So as a pre active B12 I decided to stop my vitamin D3 too and pay for an essentials blood test as it is nearly a year since I was last tested and my GP

Losartan or Rivaroxaban side effects or triggers, or pure coincidence? A further update.
Further to the excrutiating pains I described in earlier posts about Rivaroxaban I had another blood test 23 days ago. Within 24 hours a doctor rang me to give me the results. He explained that one test showed the amount of inflammation in my body. It should have been around 15 to 20, but was at 130

Lab won't test for B12 and Free T3 even now that GP has asked twice.
Should I just go private? I notice Blue Horizon mentioned on this site. Also, I'm on a maintenance dose of Vitamin D3 (1000) after 1 test, but lab won't test again for a year so no idea if it's helping. Should I ask to be referred to an endo? How could I phrase this to GP?

I have a painful throat. Previous ultra sound showed cysts either side of my thyroid but not on my thyroid anyone know what that means?
Just signed up! I have an apparently normal 2.7 TSH but following an ultra sound on my thyroid I have been told by my Dr that I have cists on either side of my thyroid, but not on it. A couple of these are calcified. The Dr has prescribed 25gm of thyroxin - T4 levothyroxine sodium, daily (6 weeks ago

Is there a link with underactive thyroid and circulation problems?
In the last 4 weeks I have had pins and needles in my hands, and been aching all over. I went to the GP who said I was Vitamin D deficient (confirmed by blood test) and apparent thyroid dosage still correct 100mcg. I have been taking a Vitamin D3 supplement but not much has changed - some improvement

My adventures with the beasts
My adventure with "The Beasts of PMR GCA and PREDISALONE" so far. For the last few years I have had problems with pain in my lower back and hips. This was a long story I was seen by a back specialist put on Amatrytaline and an MRI scan ordered. I was told to watch out for signs of urinary difficulties
